Delicious Chicken Stew

Since we have the sickies around here this week I thought I would post tonight's dinner as it's the only thing that sounds good to my currently dilapidated taste-buds.

I sorta threw this together one night after seeing someone at work with something similar. I checked out a few chicken soup recipes, took out the stuff I hate, added some things I like and voila.

Chicken Stew

4 frozen chicken breast (smallish to medium - use less if they are huge)

3 carrots

1 small onion

(if you felt you had to you could add celery but I hate it so I don't add it)

4 cans chicken stock

1 12 oz package frozen Rheams noodles

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup frozen peas

1 tbsp veggie oil

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp dry thyme

1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 and bake the chicken on a foil lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 15 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking heat the oil in a large heavy bottom dutch oven over medium heat. Chop the onions and carrots to what ever size you like - I chop ours relatively small so they cook faster. Add to the oil and saute until soft. Add salt and pepper. Add 3 of the cans of chicken stock and thyme. Raise heat to medium high and bring to a boil. 

When the chicken finishes cooking dice into bite sizes an add to soup. Add noodles, return to boil and cook 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes add the corn and peas. (At this point if it seems like it needs more liquid add the other can of stock and heat through - this is a personal preference thing I think.) Serve with corn bread or other crusty bread.

Yummy. :D (I'll add pictures later once I get it made.)

It's the chicken fat that kills cooties and makes you feel better, so use the fattier pieces of chicken to get the "Jewish penicillin" effect. Hope you feel better!

this sounds delish! I think I may try it out later in the week! Hope you are feeling better.
